directory structure

DefenseMania is splitted into 3 parts: desktop application and android application, browser/web application. They share most of the code. The shared code is located in src/shared as well as all the assets. Everything is symlinked (relatively) into the 3 parts of DefenseMania. If you want to recreate the symlinks, run ./src/symlinks.sh.

build it

1. Desktop: open the desktop project in processing and export the application.
2. Android: open processing, export the android project from the file menu, run cd src/android && ant, this will create the file src/android/application.android/DefenseMania-unsigned.apk.
3. Browser: run cd src/browser && ant, this will create the compiled and minified project in src/browser/application.web.

Maps & Map Editor

1. Download the DM Map Editor from here and read how to use it.
2. You can submit new maps via pull-requests in this repository.
